— Part 2: Filtration
— Part 3: Lyophilization
— Part 4: Clean-in-place technologies

Introduction
During the process of preparing ISO 13408-1, several items, e.g filtration, freeze drying and sterilization inplace, were found to be in need of supplementary information which was too voluminous to be given incorresponding annexes
This part of ISO 13408 includes requirements and guidance that are to be observed during sterilization in place.The purpose of this part of ISO 13408 is to achieve standardization in the field of validation and routine control
of sterilization in place processes used in the manufacture of health care products
Sterilization in place is, in most instances, preceded by cleaning in place which is described in ISO 13408-4.While methods of cleaning in place and sterilization in place differ considerably in technology, the concept of insitu treatment is similar
The most important issue to consider in establishing sterilization-in-place technology is the design of thesystem(s) to ensure that they be able to successfully sterilize manufacturing equipment to the desired level ofsterility assurance

Aseptic processing of health care products —
NOTE SIP can be achieved by using steam or other gaseous or liquid sterilizing agents Specific guidance on steamsterilization in place, which is the most common method used, is given in Annex A
1.2 This part of ISO 13408 applies to processes where sterilizing agents are delivered to the internal surfaces
of equipment that can come in contact with the product
1.3 This part of ISO 13408 does not apply to processes where equipment is dismantled and delivered to asterilizer
1.4 This part of ISO 13408 does not supersede or replace national regulatory requirements, such as GoodManufacturing Practices (GMPs) and/or compendial requirements that pertain in particular national or regionaljurisdictions
1.5 This part of ISO 13408 does not specify requirements for development, validation and routine control of aprocess for inactivating the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies, such as scrapie, bovinespongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Specific recommendations have been produced inparticular countries for the processing of materials potentially contaminated with these agents

5.1.4 Although the entire processing system can be sterilized as a single entity in SIP, it can be advantageous
to divide the system into several parts in order to simplify the sterilization procedures When a large system issterilized by dividing it into several segments, the segments should overlap to ensure that all portions of thesystem are adequately and effectively sterilized
5.1.5 Complex sequences of opening and shutting of valves in the pipes of a system could be required Where
this is controlled manually, detailed documentation of individual steps is required Where automation is used,electronic automation systems should be carefully designed and validated

5.3 Equipment
5.3.1 Equipment to be subjected to SIP
5.3.1.1 The equipment shall be designed and manufactured to facilitate SIP and to ensure that the sterilizing
agent(s) can enter all internal product contact parts of the equipment to be sterilized (such as filter housings,pipe branches, and valves)
Design considerations shall include, but not be limited to:
a) smoothness of inner surface of equipment;
b) accessibility of the sterilizing agent to all relevant surfaces;
Trang 11ISO 13408-5:2006(E)
c) correct placement of ports to admit the sterilizing agent(s) and, where applicable, to allow bleeding tofacilitate sterilizing agent distribution;
